Official RCSB Thread

Popped up in my alerts this evening - super low miles.

I like the black cloth interior but I'm glad I got rid of that stupid folding passenger seat on the '07 and got
a proper seat in my 2010. Some old guy died with that sitting in the garage? It's a beauty, hope it goes to
someone on here.

my concern is the rust underneath this vehicle. What are your thoughts?

 

Like how lots of delayed shots of black, but skims way too fast over all the frame rust.
Keep looking, IMO

 

My thoughts: Not good.

That was a concern, this being a N.E. / Rust belt truck, even with the low miles, what a bummer.

 

$25k for all that rust. No thanks. It'll start to need rust repair like a rear bumper, brake lines, rusted hose clamps, exhaust pipes. For $25k. I don't care if it's only got 15000 miles I'd rather have a high mileage southern truck than you can remove the bolts on it without needing a torch. You can find something else that's clean for $15-20k with less than 150000 on it.

 

Yeah I agree with you guys. I’d rather keep looking and wait patiently than deal with the rust issue. It looks like sold already too.

 

Where are you at? Midwest? Eastern states? I’ve seen a couple of guys go pretty far in an airplane to get the truck they want.

 

California

Probably already sold. Just search often and you will find a clean one, don’t buy the crappy 2WD rust buckets.

 

Rust bucket. Keep hunting!

 

Ya, that one you don't even ask, just confirm and send money.

 

Someone sent this to me. I told him he better buy it or I’m buying a 2nd truck lol. I’m sure its gone already.

 

Yeah @AdamK posted this yesterday. I wonder if it's the same truck @NEVERGIVEUP is also posting about. In his video link the salesman taking in the video is saying something about 15k milage.

 

That one is sold and is the video I sent with all that rust. Although, sales guy says it’s just surface rust. I highly doubt just that. Why send money and buy that one? Lol

 

I was one of the first to reach out about that one. Lol. I’ll just keep looking.

 

Saw this the other day and thought it was funny. https://youtu.be/mQ6usg6XHnY?si=gUeXlj2uNBAnil0L

 

This could be the one for you … Oregon, 115k, $18k. Didn’t study the pics much but it appears to be in nice shape. You’ve got a fighting chance at a clean no-rust frame.

Console, not a bench (I like my bench), but appears to be a 5.7 4x4, SR5 pkg, pre-flex fuel, and close to home.

Thanks @AdamK. I saw that one too. Car fax shows a minor accident. Seems good shape with minimal to little rust. Yeah I also prefer bench seat. I did reach out to the dealer. Will see what happens.

 

Is this a fair price? Seems high?

 

Someone will pay it.

 

Fair is subjective to the buyer. For the miles and condition I would consider this a good price for a unicorn.

 

Rare, virtually new condition
Take same amount and see what that buys you and compare.
We are on a Tundra RCSB thread, not too many. I had 3 guys on my Land Cruiser forum who’d never even knew a 2 dr Tundra existed let alone seen one

Now this is a steal!

 

Looks like a long bed though. Still a great price. Not sure if it has salvaged title. Might also be a rust belt truck

 

It is a salvaged title. 6'7" bed. But are you buying it for the resale or the use? Not all salvaged titles are a bad deal. Just my .02 though.

 

You make a valid point. I’m looking for reliability. Just don’t know the history enough to say if it’s a good deal or not. Will need to investigate further. And looking at photo. It looks like an 8 foot bed.

 

Yeah I didn't do much research on it. It's at a copart on the other side of the country from you though.

@NEVERGIVEUP
Less than 80 miles away if you want me to go check it out.

 

I reached out to that one too. Waiting for reply. Thanks @OldGuy03. I’ll let you know.
